With the use of this option the programme duration is prolonged to increase the cleaning and drying results with the
use of multi-tablets.
Opening the door while the appliance operates
If you open the door while a programme is running, the appliance stops. When you close the door, the appliance
continues from the point of interruption.
If the door is opened for more than 30 seconds during the drying phase, the running programme will
end. Press on/off button or wait for AUTO OFF to deactivate the appliance.
End of the programme
• Press the on/off button or wait for the AUTO OFF function to automatically deactivate the appliance.
• Close the water tap.
Hints and tips
General
The following hints will ensure optimal cleaning and
drying results in daily use and also help to protect the
environment.
• Remove larger residues of food from the dishes into
the waste bin.
• Do not pre-rinse dishes by hand. When needed, use
the prewash programme (if available) or select a
programme with a prewash phase.
• Always use the whole space of the baskets.
• When loading the appliance, make sure that the
dishes can be completely reached and washed by
the water released from the spray arm nozzles.
Make sure that items do not touch or cover each
other.
• You can use dishwasher detergent, rinse aid and
salt separately or you can use the multi-tablets (e.g.
''3in1'', ''4in1'', ''All in 1''). Follow the instructions
written on the packaging.
• Select the programme according to the type of load
and degree of soil. With the ECO programme you
have the most efficient use of water and energy
consumption for crockery and cutlery with normal
soil.
The water softener
The water softener removes minerals from the water
supply, which would have a detrimental effect on the
washing results and on the appliance.
The higher the content of these minerals, the harder
your water is. Water hardness is measured in equivalent
scales.
The water softener should be adjusted according to the
hardness of the water in your area. Your local water
authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in
your area. It is important to set the right level of the
water softener to assure good washing results.
Using salt, rinse aid and detergent
• Only use salt, rinse aid and detergent for
dishwasher. Other products can cause damage to
the appliance.
• Multi-tablets are usually suitable in areas with a
water hardness up to 21 °dH. In areas exceeding
this limit, rinse aid and salt must be used in addition
to the multi-tablets. However, in areas with hard and
very hard water we recommend to use solo-
detergent (powder, gel, tablets without additional
functions), rinse aid and salt separately for optimal
cleaning and drying results.
